I don't like splurge my money on blusher because I don't often use them. I use them mostly in the Winter then I need a little colour to look alive. This is why I purchased this blusher. I was so happy to have found a little gem that works so well and that is so affordable. It lasts the whole day and has amazing pigmentation. I have not experience anything bad with this product. It is also small and compact - making it easy to travel with!
